Success and astonishing talent.

Kai began measuring the quantity of herbs needed and their ratio inside the beaker, which was set to heat up through the heating beaker, after seeing how skills function in this world.

Kai was beginning to feel enthusiastic about it. As Kai waited for the water to reach a certain temperature before adding a second herb, the water inside the beaker began to boil along with the herbs that had been sipped inside it.

Kai then concentrated the mana in his hand before adding the second herb to the beaker.

Normally the herbs never melt inside the water, but using the mana as a catalyst, Kai was able to unlock the essence within the herbs and let them fill the beaker.

The herbal essence inside the beaker released an enormous amount of heat, which caused the beaker to explode when the small breakage of the concentration from the Kai part and the mana concentration vanished from the tube.

"Shit!!!" Kai was shielded from harm by a magical barrier created by a magic item his sister prepared for him and that most alchemists use for safety reasons.

And after that failure, Kai failed around 5 to 6 times before he finally got the hang of it and finally created a small amount of potion content.

"Yes!!!" Before he could forget about the timing and the sensation, an exhausted Kai started to make the potion again as he lay down on the ground. He soon opened his eyes after closing them to rest.

As Kai labored diligently to create a potion with the highest concentration that the sisters had never seen before, he was unaware of how much time had passed.

The fact that none of his sisters visited him until the following morning, when he had finally finished turning all 20 sets of herbs into 8 potions, may also be due to this.

"Ahhh! I'm definitely an idiot, only being able to create 8 of these potion in all those 20 sets."

Kai discovered that the majority of his poor mana control was the reason why his success rate in creating these potions was so low.

His hand started to light up a little as he focused and used his mana, but a wave of interference was visible on the light's surface.

"Controlling a little amount of mana inside my body is easy, but controlling the one outside is a very hard thing to do."

Kai murmurs as he remembers his sister explaining to him the main distinction between a magic swordsman and a magus.

It mainly depended on how swordsmen used their internal mana to improve their physical appearance; however, they are unable to use their external mana to achieve the same results.

However, while Magicians can control mana from the outside, which allowed them to have a long attack range, doing so causes their inner mana to thin out and lose its control over the outside mana, making it less effective.

Because of this, a magician would never use inner mana to enhance their physical stature and would instead fall short in close quarters battles if a certain amount of space were to separate them.

"I will go and sleep first." Kai barely dragged his body to his room because his eyes were failing to hold onto his consciousness to the point where the moment he hit the bed, his mind went blank and he fell into a deep slumber.

In addition, nobody knew about the workshop where the other party had been working hard yesterday and had also slept late at 3 a.m., so his sister Eliana was searching for him throughout the mansion after she did not find him in the room.

Only Seraphina was aware of this.

"Ahh! He is back in his room again," When Eliana and Seraphina did locate Kai, he was dozing off on his bed with half of his body tucked under the mattress.

When Seraphina opened one of the bottles of potion and smelled it, they discovered a bucket made of jute in which several bottles were arranged in a row.

"This is regeneration potion, and of that 60% purity, great; he actually was able to do it, and that is in a single night of production."

Seraphina was confident that she could accomplish a lot with the help of those potions, but she was debating whether to stay where she was or move to another location to bring more herbs for the alchemist because Kai was a complete moron for working so hard and taxing his already frail body in that way.

"It will be fine to let him rest, and after that, we also need to train him in mana control for the magic swordsmanship training."

Since then, the days have passed, and Kai has not done much besides rest and play with Eliana, where his sister has begun to teach him swordsmanship after a day of arduous alchemy work.

He was required to practice swordsmanship for the first few days, and Seraphina noticed that his brother's progress in this area was incredibly quick.

However, none of them were aware that the skill Kai acquired following the success of his first alchemical creation was the secret behind it.

"Congratulations, host, for the successful completion of the first alchemical product."

"On the first success in the initial profession of host, the system has decided to reward the host for his hard work in a non-combat-oriented profession."

"The guild will provide 500 Gp on each successful creation of a different recipe, and you can also sell those potion directly to the guild and buy similar things from it too."

He needed a career that wasn't exclusively focused on combat because the guild had connections to many different people and places. As a result, it will occasionally directly propose a quest and reward for a profession that is not combat-oriented.

Kai discovered that the system's basic swordsmanship was incredible on its own, even though it cost 500 guild points.

Given that the information was also provided in the form of memories, Kai was able to learn everything at a rate that was ten times that of a typical person, as long as he tried to practice every day.

Not to mention, the swordsmanship taught by the system's legacy had enough forms, such as quick sword, rapier style, heavy sword type, and others, even though it was taught at the lowest level, Basic, to warrant the establishment of a school for teaching it.

Not that Kai was already an expert in all of these techniques, but rather that his muscles were not used to using them and he was unable to release them properly. Hence, he was asked to train continuously to gain more control over the muscles.

"Kai!!!" Every morning during the training session, Eliana would typically wait for her brother to arrive, carrying warm food in a packed lunch. As a result of her actions, the butler, maids, and other staff members of the mansion began to smile and express their liking for the brother and sister team.
